Searching Factiva
• Don’t forget to use search operators such as AND, OR, NOT to help form your search.
• Other operators to remember are
• “ “ quote marks for phrases
• * for truncation
• Eg. Tax* finds tax, taxes,
taxation, taxable, taxpayer
BUT also taxi, taxidermy
• wc>1000 to find a lengthy
article. To do this you need to
specify that you are searching
